I went by there yesterday. They didn’t have the beef, but they did offer chicken and fish. I went with the chicken which was great. The green mysterious stuff is a sambol made with collards and coconut.

Steve, thank you for not summoning me to chime in, because I found out some 60 years ago that eating out of aluminum pie plates could give one Alzheimer’s disease as the aluminum accumulates in one’s brain that is the section of the brain not already occupied by bed bugs.

But then, I love Sri Lankan food … where is Sri Lankan?

And, what website am I posting on …. ?

And what day of the weak is it …. ?

And where is my …. what was I looking for?

Carrion, please.

why does this have to be on the other side of midtown from me? i’ll get over there eventually.

in any event, the “chick pea” thing is “Paruppu vadai,” which is made with lentils.

the fried food picture shows rolls (hopefully mutton), vadai, and probably tuna cutlets.

not sure what the green stuff actually is, but i’ve had it countless times before. i’m also not a fan of jackfruit, but my mom sure is.

besides hoppers, i’d recommend trying (if they have it) string hoppers or pittu instead of rice, with sothi (which should be the yellow sauce in the 3rd picture).

Good preliminary write-up and photos. Let’s get some Sri Lankans to weigh in. C’mon, Sri Lankans! Let’s hear from you! Don’t be shy!

Awesome! I am checking this place out tomorrow. Right near my work! I had hoppers in Toronto years ago and never heard of them again. Yum.
